I'm Not Interested In The Main Characters-Chapter 27

Elysia pulled out what was in her robe. Seemingly, it was just a normal stone.

“It’s a spirit stone, but I didn’t give it to you?”

It was a spirit stone that lost its light after using up all of its magic. Elysia recalled the result of her tracking magic in the barracks a while ago. If Lumiere hadn’t used her own magic directly...

“What if... the magic was from the spirit stone.”

“Then, it would be useless to use tracking magic.”

Elysia turned the spirit stone over. It was distributed in the market that was designed to have an engraving mark.

Her mind turned chaotic.

To find out whether the tracking magic sample was the same as that of the Spirit Stone in Lumiere’s robe, she needed to obtain the Spirit Stone mined in the same place to complete the tracking magic. However, she had already used the sample of the tracking magic she had, so she had to use the one she gave to Cassian in order to do that.

The best method was to check with the wizards who participated in the subjugation at the trial and found out about it, but there was a problem.

Proving that this spirit stone was Lumiere’s, and explaining why she was holding this.

If it were truly Lumiere’s, Elysia wouldn’t take this with her until then, since she had to put it back in the robe like before.

‘I have to give up one.’

At the trial, she had to choose whether to check with the wizards or check separately with the spirit stone.

“Are you sure she is the owner of the robe?”

“I don’t know. There’s no reason for her to do that.”

Even if it was revealed that Lumiere was really using the Spirit Stone, there was no way to punish her unless it has been proved in an official trial.

Elysia bit her lips.

Cassian was staring at her, who went back and forth in the barracks. He wasn’t sure if he should disturb her train of thoughts since her expression was so serious. Cassian just decided to watch her on the side.

If it’s Lumiere, then why? Why did she aim for Elysia?

Why would the heroine threaten her?

The only thing that came to her mind was Revos. Elysia shook her head at the lowly thought that was branching from her mind. She stood tall, stopped frowning.

“...Cassian. What did you say to Lady Blanche a few days ago?”

“Hmm?”

Lumiere tends to blush her face easily. Still, the blush at the castle was quite different with interest or heart.

‘Why didn’t I realize?’

That was also a reason why she couldn’t sleep properly, as she continued to grumble about that day. As Elysia put her hands on both waists, she went closer to Cassian.

“What did Lady Blanche say to you?”

As Cassian glanced at her, wondering where to start, her red eyes that he encounters exude strange energy. The power that held the vampire’s seduction disappeared. It was an instinctive behavior.

Cassian was alert to the change.

“I don’t know what this is, but I would answer even if you didn’t try to bewitch me.”

“Oh, I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”

Humans who face the eyes of seduction become fascinated by the vampire in front of them without knowing.

Often, the powers sometimes didn’t work for humans with strong mental powers. Whether this was such a case or because he was a master, it didn’t work for Cassian. Elysia was a little surprised.

He raised his eyebrows and lifted Elysia. Cassian sat her on the table and sat back on the chair. She didn’t realize she showed him her abilities.

‘How much are you hiding?’ Waiting for his answer, she stared at Cassian and pushed her thoughts away for a moment.

“The person she loves is the prince. I mean, I’m being used for their love.”

Elysia’s face shuddered without reason.

‘What is this crap?’

Lumiere had such an idea that she couldn’t make progress with Levos. So, what should she think of Lumiere blushing her face at Cassian?

“Why didn’t you tell me...”

“Because you don’t need to worry about it.” She grabbed his hem tightly. Elysia couldn’t read the feelings in the purple eyes that were looking up at her. Suddenly, she realized what the identity of the emotion that had settled in the corner of her heart was.

‘It was...’

It was a gut feeling when she saw Lumiere’s face that day. There was also a reason to doubt that the person who opened the magic circle was Lumiere.

Vigilance towards one’s opponents.

“I apologize in advance. I’m sorry.”

Elysia bowed her head. And she put her teeth against Cassian’s lips.

At that moment, Cassian’s body stiffened with her lip biting. Before his wounds healed, another sharp sensation dug in.

She dug and sucked his lower lips, hard.

A terrible satisfaction. She was feeling possessive over Cassian. The deeply entangled kisses stopped, and she bit her lips.

“And, what did you say?”

She threw a question as she lowered her head before he could answer. Cassian grabbed Elysia’s waist, who was barely sitting at the end of the table.

Her lips fell yet again, and it was his turn to answer.

“I said get lost.”

Cassian omitted his reply, warning Lumiere not to go around with such nonsense.

‘...What?’

Elysia blinked her eyes at the words that went against her expectations. She thought he would either say it didn’t matter, or it wasn’t something to share with her, or simply that Cassian knew she was mistaken. She expected those kinds of answers.

“Well, this is our problem.”

“That’s what I like about you.”

She licked another drop of blood from his torn lips. “You’re mine for three years, you know? I’m the only one who can bite your neck.”

It wasn’t a word that was required for him to answer. It was for him to know.

She had no intention of sharing the man in front of her with another woman. He was going to be her prey for at least the next three years.

Vampires do not share their prey.

Elysia had a satisfactory face like a full beast. Then, she raised her hand and slid it under Cassian’s chin.

“Only I can touch you like this.”

‘This man is mine.’

Before her rebirth, she could get a blood pack at any time, but it wasn’t the only way to solve the problem. When she had a lover of her kind, she would drink his blood, and sometimes, the blood of a human man.

There were also humans that weren’t as good as Cassian, but still smelled relatively delicious. For humans with a sweet smell, several vampires were bound to be twisted.

“Do you have any heart for Lady Blanche?”

“I’m overwhelmed with just keeping an eye on you alone already.”

Most of the time, Elysia only took blood once and erased the memory of her prey. Meeting him was the moment when she understood the feelings of how her people wanted to monopolize humans through long ties with them.

Cassian grinned. That question left him without any room to look elsewhere. Even if he could afford it, he wasn’t interested in such a pretentious woman like Lumiere.

A little bit heartbroken, Cassian bent his eyes, tilted his head at an angle, and smiled languidly. He knew what kind of expression she was weak at.

‘...Why do you suddenly look so beautiful?’ Elysia stretched her body backward. He rose from his chair and put his arms on both of her sides.

“If you’re stimulating me this much, you’ll have to take responsibility.”

“Here? Ah...It tickles, don’t do it.”

“If you’re loud, they can hear everything.”

“I’m sorry... Ugh.”

Elysia reinforced her thoughts of the consequence if she was caught now. Thinking so, she pushed him away. She was a little sorry, but before Luniere woke up, she had to put the robe back to where it was.

She hurried away before she was caught by Cassian.

***

The beast subjugation team returned to the Empire. They were able to reach the capital early by using the gate from the kingdom near the Jericho Mountains.

It was possible because there was a camp in the opposite direction to the direction in which her family disappeared.

‘I was able to come back so quickly.’

Elysia briefly glanced at Cassian. He was already meeting Lloyd and was busy receiving reports. She then found her familiar family carriage.

“Old Man!”

The eyes of the wizards around her turned to Ramote in unison. They were in tears after being able to see him so up close.

Elysa stabbed Ramote on his sides.

“Is Old Man popular?” 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

“Let’s just go.”

Ramote was disgusted and led Elysia in the direction of the carriage. They could hear the regretful words of the wizards behind them.

“Now, do you have anything to say?”

“Huh? ”

Ramote folded his arms and stared at Elysia fiercely as soon as they got into the carriage. The momentum of the air around the glasses was unusual.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I heard it, you collapsed.”

“Who said that?” Elysia avoided his gaze.

Who already talked about it?

She grinded her teeth.

“Magic depletion? My disciple wouldn’t do that, don’t you think so?”

“...I couldn’t help it.”

“How ignorant of you, you can die from magic depletion?!”

He raised his arms as if he was going to flick her forehead. Elysia opened her eyes wide as she crossed her arms and covered her face.

“Ack! It’s a real slap. That’s violence.”

“If someone heard you, they would think I really hit you.”

Often, when Elysia had a dangerous accident, Ramote would try to flick her. Although she had never met that flick even once. Thanks to Elysia learning magic for quite a while, this scene was common in the mansion of Duke Lowell.

[ T/N: Koreans (or I think Japanese too?) like to do the finger flick to the forehead. ]

“I’m ashamed, too. I didn’t think there was going to be a situation like this.”

Ramote’s expression sank as Elysia explained what happened and asked him to calm down.

“You’re ignorant at how to subjugate. I can’t believe you did it to that scale.”

“Because it wasn’t impossible. It would have ended very neatly if I hadn’t been disturbed.”

“Tsk. So, is your body all right?”

“Yes, as you can see, I’m very fine.”

Hearing her words, he narrowed his eyes. No matter how, Elysia couldn’t recover so quickly because of magic depletion.

“What are you going to do now?”

“I’m going to find something similar to that spirit stone.”

“Even if you don’t pass it to trial, you can still protest from the Magic Tower’s side. Of course, if they cooperate.”

Ramote also seemed to be offended. He didn’t seem to be willing to overlook this matter. Knowing Elysia’s situation, he knew better than anyone how dangerous it could be.

‘I have to find out if she really has a heart for Cassian.’

It was as if Lumiere interfered with Elysian’s life as collateral. She had no intention of being a heroine. To even think that she got hurt from running out of magic.

‘Before the rebirth, I rarely got hurt...’

When she came here, she was getting used to being sick or in pain.

“Did something happen here?”

“Why wouldn’t it be? Your father went to the Emperor, and it was a mess.’

‘I couldn’t have done anything to soften the marriage proposal myself.’

She didn’t think the emperor would simply pass the marriage down, but her father was also a tough guy.

Cassian’s hers for three years, so she’s definitely putting a nail on him.
